The eMedia Card is really a number, an access code that gives you access to Heights Libraries online-only resources. No need to come in to a building to apply for a physical library card — you can apply for the card and access your materials all from your home computer or other electronic device.

PLEASE NOTE:You do NOT need an eMedia Card if you have a standard Heights Libraries Card. Your standard card allows you all the benefits of an eMedia Card (and more).

To learn more about the eMedia Card, see our Frequently Asked Questions below.

How long does it take to get an eMedia Card?

What can’t I do with my eMedia Card?
